It was journalist Mohamed Aïchaoui who was entrusted with the task of writing the revolutionary declaration under the supervision of the two leaders Mohamed Boudiaf and Mourad Didouche of the Group of Six.^[6][7]

Impression[]

The leaflets for this proclamation were drawn in the house of activist Ali Zamoum located in the village of Ighil Imoula in Great Kabylia.^[8][9]

These sheets were then put in briefcases and suitcases to be sent to their destinations in Algeria and abroad.^[10][11]
